Who is your favorite overall DFS golfer and why?
- Joe Nicely: Viktor Hovland - I just can’t quit Vik
- Spencer Aguiar: It is easy to say Tony Finau or someone of that nature, but let’s get creative and go with the popular Sam Burns ($7,500), who is underpriced for the week in all markets.
- Josh Bennett: Viktor Hovland (9,800) - Long hitter, world class ball striker. Playing great golf, and of all the high priced guys he's the only one without the Masters on his mind. He can make a statement with a win here that maybe the guys in green jackets should have made a couple exceptions on invites this year.
- Andrew Putters: Victor Hovland...the guy is too consistent

- Josh Bennett: Viktor Hovland
- Andrew Putters: Tony Finau
